Self Driving Cars

Self driving cars are becoming a practical reality.  Google and the Auto Club have sponsored laws in California to regulate self driving cars.  Most traffic collisions are the result of human error, so taking that out of the equation might improve both traffic speed and safety.

I think that at least for the first few years all vehicles should have a driver on board, with a drivers license who can be held legally responsible for the operation of the vehicle.  Only after the technology has proven that it can function with complete autonomy, with total safety would I want vehicles driving around with no driver and no one responsible for them.

In the more distant future, I think a responsible person should be assigned for the operation of each vehicle, but that if the technology were mature, that even empty vehicles could be driving around our streets.  Delivery vans without a driver could drop off a pod for unloading at the loading dock.  Kids could be sent to school without an adult in the car.  I think we are still a while away from that right now; that's what the SGT Says.
